Do you think my kid would hate me forever if I named him Belvidere Jehosaphat?

(I never would; it's a joke name from fandom, but I have it in my layout, and I couldn't help but wonder what reaction it would get from people in this community.

I actually don't mind Belvidere XD Maybe as a middle name though :p

Haha, yes. Although, ngl, I kind of like Belvedere (maybe as a middle name?). It reminds me of Cry Baby.

I'm going to guess that a person or character in your fandom is named B.J., and the in-joke is that it supposedly stands for "Belvidere Jehosaphat."

Yes, they would hate you forever. No, this post isn't as funny as you think.

I actually think Belvidere is badass. The second one, just no.

I've heard worse. The first thing I think of when I hear Belvidere is Belvedere College (not quite the same, but very close) and thus James Joyce, and then the fact that his nickname would be "Bell." On the nickname is really a bad thing, and even that isn't guaranteed to come up. I'm not in any way recommending it, of course. I've just heard worse.

Does anyone else think of Mr. Belvedere, or am I just old?

I thought of Mr. Belvedere, but perhaps I am also just old! :)

I was reminded of the Polish vodka I drink, Belvedere. XD
